Bermondsey beach
Live or die it’s always live
I come here to this beach which lasts for an hour a day
when the river Thames allows it to
The beach allows me to be
for myself
Be with the sound of waves with the nature and its city best
Exist at this moment - wave crashes slowly
You came here too
And they do come here
For the same reason
In solitude we try to think things through or not think at all
while throwing yet another rock
in solitude
looking at the ripples
focus on their flow
step by step we all look when someone throws
alone but together
a group of strangers we all feel so moved
by our almost achievement
being present at the beach
a challenge these days
and yet its just a fragment of our 24 hour clock
at one point we will move and let go of the present
and the beach
yet there are thousands of us doing the same
in simple mind breaks
or wanting to do just that
what if every moment could be like this?
